... coffee and had spare time to check my mail on internet, so I popped into this internet café. Why am I bothering you by publishing this? Because, the bloody owner of the shop has caused a fire whilst I was there. For three of us (no fire extinguishers, only kettle and soup bowls) it took only minutes to put it down, but this incident is certainly something to remember. What a twist of fate, no wonder I left Chumpon with a big smile on my face.

... out and I like to sample all types of ice cream :) I tried the green one and the pink one and I have no idea what flavors they actually are but the green was my favorite.

Over breakfast and the next two hours we cruised to our final dive site - number 14 - a wreck just off the coast of Khao Lak. This was absolutely phenomenal and something we most definitely want to repeat. After lunch we docked back at base and were transferred to Khao Lak where we spent the afternoon in a ...

... what was outside and a few words with the guard. It was Bangkok alright but on the fringe. Still 20 minutes to go so we sat down. Then a loud voice yelled out from down the carriage, it was the lead party girl from the night before, telling her friends this was Bangkok station and they must get off. So they started getting off. The train start moving with 2 of them were still on board. There were howls of protest, but the train was good enough stop ...

... nie so lang auf einem Boot war und gar kein "Sturm-Freund" bin... Naja w** ist das schon... Auf jedenfall sind wir dann am naechsten Tag abends losgefahren. Die Similan Inseln liegen ziemlich weit aussen im Me**, also war es eine ziemlich lange und unruhige Fahrt... Mir ist ziemlich uebel geworden...
